Comme un boomerang

Gripping, poignant, gritty, this crime drama with strong, powerful social elements reminds of course one of previous José Giovanni's movies, also starring Alain Delon: DEUX HOMMES DANS LA VILLE, a terrific indictment against death penalty. In the mean time there was also LE GITAN, a crime drama, with more action sequences, and again denouncing this time harsh measures taken by French society against Gypsies. This movie doesn't seem to impose any special message, only an engrossing story where Alain Delon's performance is worth the watch. An ex gangster whose son, probably spoiled child, killed a cop on man slaughter charge. The father son relationship is absolutely outstanding, and told in such a way that no one can stay cold in front of this story.
